Tranmere will be inviting National League opponents to revive the tradition of Friday night football at Prenton Park next season.

However, vice-chairman Nicola Palios acknowledges that the incentives for visiting clubs to play Rovers on a Friday are less significant than they were in the past.

Nicola Palios said: “We are looking at asking teams if they will come and play us on a Friday night. We are not sure we will get a lot of success with that.

“It was much easier to persuade clubs the play us on Fridays in the old days, when the two teams shared the gate receipts.

“Then the home team and the away team had a vested interest in the gate being as big as possible and if Tranmere said that by playing Friday nights they could get an extra 5000 people in, the other team had a powerful incentive to agree.

“That’s all changed now because the home team keep all of the gate receipts. There’s no financial incentive.”

The disincentives for clubs visiting Tranmere on a Friday nights remain, not least the disruption in routine and travelling for the away team and the difficulty for visiting supporters to make the journey in time for a 7:45 kick-off.

Even so, Nicola Palios says: “We are hoping will be able to persuade some of them to agree to play us on Friday nights this season.”
